its feels like a mass psychosis where tech leaders continue to insist you can be cruel, mean, and hurt the feelings of lines of code

You know transitioning is hard and it can be lonely and it can suck sometimes and the fucking transphobes do their best to ruin everything and it hurts, it sometimes really fucking hurts and the only thing I would change about it is I wish I’d done it sooner

BECAUSE, trans-girl-in-hiding who’s reading this, it can also be as GOOD as you dream it might be. THE DRESS SHE GOES SPINNY. It rules so hard to be trans. It really does. It’s so fucking rad.

Ok, take two but omitting the “white privilege” line. How about you explain how Tom Morello leaving President blank in a state where Harris won by 3.2 million votes had any impact? How would Tom Morello voting for Harris in California made a difference here? Go on… bsky.app/profile/milo...

You could even, if you really wanted to, keep consuming Harry Potter shit & just simply not post about it online while claiming you're doing a boycott People acting like everyone understands that's not good enough suggests what they actually want is absolution from trans people Which won't happen

For better or worse we're in an era where it's considered normal to dump your entire life online. The tradeoff is people get to judge you for your actions and choices, unless you want to start being careful about what you share. That's always always always been the tradeoff.

Your guilt is not our problem. And if it's not guilt but simply being sick of hearing about it constantly because you think our lives don't matter: Fix your heart or get thicker fucking skin you absolute baby.

I wonder what it would be like to write the same column, over and over again, endlessly. Seems like it’d be boring. But maybe it brings one comfort, like having your parents read you the same story every night before you go to bed.

Due to the warm feedback that I've gotten about "Eat Your Chains," I've secretly been expanding the Game Jam version into the fully intended version. I was going to wait for voting on the Jam to finish and see what the judges voted on, but I've decided to just share what I've got.
An image of Gaelhkiy in his house. The background is changed to use a similar shade of pink as what Kayleigh is drawn with.An image of the Sun boss fight's room. The floor tiles have been darkened and given borders to imply tiles, making it easier to see the characters.The "forest maze" area, which has had its background tiles made black in order to let the foreground elements pop better.

The plan: Build a 200-room, 300-bathroom data center, 70% subsidized by federal and local governments. Make it accessible to the train. Build a supermarket for the 800 people doing 24/7 on-site maintenance. Call it the future of technology. Make OpenAI pay for the rest. Then let people move in.

One thing that encourages me is that despite individual Democrats capitulating on trans rights, I think if the polling holds, we will elect the most pro-trans congress and senate in US history.

🧵 of excerpts from my latest essay “On Democrats Who Cave in Response to Anti-Trans Attack Ads.” it makes several points I haven't seen others making. here's a main one: many cis reactions reveal they don't actually view trans ppl as part of their coalition... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
In my book Excluded — which examines the recurring problem of how marginalized groups are often excluded from movements that they have a stake in — I discuss (on p.57) how the word “divisive” is a red flag for me. To paraphrase that passage: When trans people critique trans-exclusion within our own communities and coalitions, we are often called “divisive” for doing so. In contrast, I have never once heard anyone use the word “divisive” to describe cis people who promote or tacitly support trans-exclusion (in this case, Talarico, Turek, et al.). The fact that acts that marginalize trans people are not typically described as being “divisive” implies that there is a presumed and unspoken “one-ness” that exists in people’s minds that implicitly precludes trans people.
I’d argue that the central issue here isn’t what candidate X says about trans athletes or trans healthcare (although that is certainly important), or what trans person Y says in response. Rather, it’s that many cisgender Democrats will by default view Y as divisive and X as not. And by doing so, they are essentially communicating (whether they realize it or not) that trans people are not really a part of the Democratic coalition in their eyes: We are either votes to be taken for granted or else “dead weight” that the party should drop.

it really does feel as if Democrats en masse are telling trans ppl that they don't want us as part of their coalition. if you disagree with them – if you *want* trans ppl to be a part of the coalition – then please call these trans-exclusionary Dems DIVISIVE because they are DIVIDING OUR COALITION!
